EXPO CHICAGO: Gallery Wendi Norris presents three visionary artists curated by Dr. Louise Bernard

Gallery Wendi Norris is presenting a selection of career-defining works by María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Ambreen Butt, and Chitra Ganesh for its exhibition in EXPO CHICAGO's expanded Galleries section, "Embodiment." Curated by Dr. Louise Bernard, Director of the Obama Presidential Center Museum, this section features works inspired by the architecture and commissioned artists of the Obama Presidential Center ahead of its anticipated opening in June 2026. María Magdalena Campos-Pons (b. 1959, Matanzas, Cuba), who will debut new work at the 61st Venice Biennale this May, draws on the body—specifically, her own—as a vessel through which she navigates Afro-Cuban diasporic narratives. She produces work that is at once historically grounded and spiritually charged, materializing themes of migration and memory.
